Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Normal corneal topography; - Predicted post-operative keratometry =51 D; - Contact lens wearers must stop wearing their contact lenses before baseline measurements according to local requirements of the clinic; - Patients should be able to understand the patient information and willing to sign an informed consent; - Patients should be willing to comply with all follow-up visits and the respective examinations; - Patients with hyperopia or hyperopia with astigmatism (attempted correction: sphere up to +6.00D, cylinder up to 5.00D and maximum hyperopic meridian up to +7.00D); - The corrected distance visual acuity should be 20/25 or better in each eye pre-operatively; - A difference between cycloplegic and manifest refractions of =1.00 D spherical equivalent in the eye to be treated;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - The patients presenting at least one of the characteristics as described for exclusion criteria in the documentation set of the VisuMax laser keratome ReLEx SMILE option. - Mixed astigmatism - Any impaired person (minors, pregnant or breast feeding women or persons incapable of giving consent) are definitely excluded from the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To provide evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the lenticule extraction method SMILE for hyperopia, the following parameter are measured postoperatively at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months: uncorrected visual acuity (UDVA) subjective refraction (sphere, cylinder, axis) best corrected visual acuity (CDVA)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints include analysis of a patient questionnaire on visual quality and contrast sensitivity evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively compared to preoperatively. Furthermore, the shape of the corneal surface, the side effects and further detailed analyzes of visual acuity and refraction are presented at 1 week, as well as at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively.
